He might be. It's just that in a 3-4, I don't place very much value at all in ILBs. For as below average as Mays and Demorrio Williams are, I feel like you could build around them in the short-term with vast improvements at both Safety positions and Nose Tackle. And given that ILBs in a 3-4 tend to be role positions instead of playmaker positions, I think it's also quite possible to upgrade that position significantly later in the draft.

If you think we can build around Mays and DeMorrio, then I don't think you are qualified to even comment on Pee Wee football.

I'm obviously not in support of building around Mays and Demorrio as if they were the centerpiece of the defense. What I'm saying is that I would build with the OLBs, NTs, and Safeties as Centerpieces first, then worry about the ILBs later. I meant more from a "they aren't good, but we can work around them for now" standpoint. |

You can grab Dan Williams in the 4th-5th round to play NT.

First off why the **** does any of us care what the draft picks are paid. None of us is Clark Hunt so it don't matter. That being said if you are the top of the draft grap the elite talent, you need it to win in the NFL. 2 or 3 years in the top 5 isn't a bad thing if you hit on them.

Don't know if anyone will see this since this thread is old, but I thought this fit here. NflDraftCountdown has a Hot List of Draft Risers and Draft Fallers. Here is #1 on that risers list...
http://www.draftcountdown.com/featur...t/Hot-List.php 1. Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee Going into his senior season Dan Williams carried a solid draftable grade but he was overshadowed by some other defensive tackles with higher profiles and more headlines. However, based on the way Williams is playing this year he will have the last laugh on Draft Day. Williams has very good size at 6’3 and 327 pounds and he has shown the ability to both stuff the run and get penetration. A stalwart on the Volunteers defense, Williams has really taken to Monte Kiffin’s scheme and as a result his draft stock is soaring. Last week against Ole Miss, Williams seemed to be involved in every play around the line of scrimmage, racking up 9 tackles including 2 for losses. For some reason Williams still isn’t getting a lot of attention nationally but pro scouts have definitely taken notice of his play. After entering the year as a mid-round possibility Williams is now considered to be one of the top senior prospects at his position and he has put himself in contention to be a second or third round pick next April. |

Yeah, NFL scouts aren't going to notice him unless a blogger writes about him.

So right now we'd be picking 5th. I'd like for us to pick 1st or out of the top five where we might be able to trade down and get more picks in this years draft or next years draft. Also as I'm studying this draft and the Chiefs I have to really wonder if we wouldn't be better off trading Dorsey and drafting Suh. That would be if we can't trade down. I'm not down on Dorsey either I'm just looking at what would make our 3-4 D the best it can be. We could use the compensation for Dorsey to draft a NT, OT or an OLB/DE. If we traded Dorsey and Tarded down we could possibly have have 5 first day picks.
